Popular Couple United In Marriage
Sunday at Bride's Home,
, Pinched for Speeding.
The Milton oity exohenuer was en
riobed in the sum of thirty-flve eimol
eons from the pockets Of Pendleton
speeding autoipts eu route to witness
the ball game at Walla Walla Sunday.
Marshal Anderson was the man who
was on the job and nabbed the pro
testing drivers of the buza wngoos
wbiob were exoeeding the speed limits
of tba town. Rot Kltner was the
Bret to net bis. when on Saturday he
was oanebt making up lost time on
Milton's newly maoademized Main
street. Sunday, George Perrioger,
Spenoe Bentley and Carl Cooley were
stopped by the marshal and assegai
tlO each for a like offense. For some
unaoooutable reason, aotolsts in gen
eral seem to lose all sense of time when
passing through towns np this way.
Either their speedometers beoome con
gested with mountain ozone or their
benzine bnoket is filled with trans
portation bacilli that precludes oog
nizanoe ot speed limit signs. The
praotlce of bitting the high plaoesand
skidding aronnd corners on two wheels
Is considered to be dangerous in all
towns and villages of 2000 population
and less. In cities of sooh magnitude
and ooneaqnenoe as Pendleton and
Walla Walla it may be different.

and good wishes, for Pendleton.
That the knowledge might continue

lady friend bied themselves to Pendle
ton in an automoble ahead of the
train, and patiently awaited tbe ar
rival of tbe newlyweds at tbe station
there, with a plentiful supply ot rice.
But the groom, resorting to strategy.
outwitted the wooldba rice-throwers.
by phoning for a taxi to meet tbe
train at tbe Court street crossing, and
when the train polled in to tbe station.

, Cold Wind Hurts Grain.
Cold winds of tbe nast week have
damaaed srain. especially wheat, in
this ooootT aaoordinn to reports of
farmers, says the Pendleton Tribnne.
Bomaof the wheat crowers say the
effect to date means a yield of 20 per
cent tinder that of la'st year. Wheat
in the light soil is said to be burning
now, bot it ia believed by many that
a rainfall witbin the next few davs
will restore tbe crop to where it woold
equal that of last year.
Seven American refugees, driven
out of Mexico reached Walla Walla
Wednesday bigot on their way to their
old homes in Colfax where they will
wait for ' the storm to blow over,
when tbey will return ' to their hold
logs, says tbe Walla Wala Union.
Tbey were a part of a colony of 63
Amerioaus' owning lund about 40
mites in an air line fioni Vera Cms.
At work peaoefolly on their land a
perfect paradise, aooordug to their de
scription bsvioa given a oootraot to
have it cleared, lost tbe night lefore,
they wire surprised He morning of
April 25 by Mexican federal soldiers,
who pot them under arrest, loaded
tbem unto a flat bar and look tbem to
Cordova, wbete tbey were thrown into
prison. ' Ibny remained four duys and
were then taken to Soledad where thev
were picked np by an Eoaltsb train
and takeu to the neutral zone. A
walk of six miles tirongbt them to the
Amorioan outposts. This was the
first tbey knew of the Ametioan ooou-
patlott of Vera Crna.
"It was llkn getting a letter from
home to see tbe American soldiers,"
said A. E. Kiikland, one of tba ref
ugees. '
"Cans of Water and tins of sardines
they furnished us made a One meal,"
Harold Kirkland deolared reminis
oently. . .
"Tbe walk was herd one," said
Mrs. A. E. Kirkland. "One woman
gave out and had to be carried. Oth
er women carrtid their little ohildren
nntil they were exhausted." ,
Reaoblng Vera Cruz, tba party waa
well taken care of by tbe United
8tatea, being sent to New Orleans on
tbe Monterey and from there ti their
destinations. Those in tbe party were
Mr. and Mrs. R, D. Shearer, their
daughter, Melva and son Morris, and
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Kirkland and son
Harold.
This party tells no tale of insults
and mistreatment by the Mexloaua ex
cept at Soledad where tbeir train waa
stopped, the windows being broken and
the party called Grlagoes and vile
names by the Mexican mob. At other
plaoes tbey were treated well. Feder
al soldiers, wbea tbey put them in tbe
Cordova prison, stated it was to pro
tect tbem from marauders and ban
dits. In this prison were 150 Amer
icans from Mexico, none of whom had
any grievanoe against tbe Mexloana.
